"I am starting from scratch with level one at Accordion Life and absolutely loving it. I am getting basics and tools I have never been taught before which is making a difference in the songs I already know how to play but never sounded quite right. The lessons are also giving me a new bit of self-confidence that has been lacking. It is fun being on the cutting edge of these online classes." - Nan Peterson

"I love your teaching methods. I’m a 66-year old Polish boy who took accordion lessons when I was 6 for a year or two, then quit, which I have regretted all my life. Now, I really want to get as good as I can with the accordion. I’m really impressed with your program." - Joe W.

"I am a young advanced piano player and just recently decided to pick up the accordion. Accordion Life's method not only eased my worry about learning the accordion but has convinced me that the accordion is truly an instrument you can have fun with!” - Maya Phipps
